(Photo by Sam Fiorini) CAROLINA TALENT F1 Roaring ] 'Boyfrien By Mel;in Byars Special Writer The roaring broadway success "The Boy Friend" (liked mostly by its audience rather than by its critics) is having its Columbia airing by the Town Theatre group. The 1920s pastiche "The Boy Friend" by Sandy Wilson is play ing in this area December 3-10 with the curtain at 8:30 p.m. Production Background This delightful burlesque was first performed in this country at the Royale Theatre, New York city. As the 320th production in the Town' Theatre's 40 years, It Is being directed by Louis W. In gram, Jr. The technical director Sabbatical Plan Starts In Nebraska Nebraska Wesleyan Univer sity has adopted a Sabbatical Leave program, effective this year. President Vance D. Rogers said the program is designed to "assist our finest young teachers to achieve the Ph.D. degree as rap)idly as possible, and thus to increase the percentage of Ph.D. teachers on the faculty. Dr. Rogers pointed out that one-third of Wesleyan teachers now hold the Ph.D. degree and that in a few years under a sab batical program, "this number can be increased substantially." In its strictest sense, he points out, a sabbatical leave program is one which gives a professor a year's vacation every seven years. Dr. Rogers said the program will provide for the teacher chosen to receive full pay for one semester or half pay for a year, andi will provide a contractual arrangement whereby the teacher will give the equivalent of five additionaj years of teaching serv ice to the university.

Second For Ingram This is Ingram's second play with the Town Theatre. He is anticeded by Robert Telford who is now at the Richmond Museum Theatrm. Flavor of 20s British-born Sandy Wilson wrote this play's dialogue and musical score with a surprising flavor of the 20s. It is not a parody but an attempt to capture the authenticity of the jazz age with all its boop-boop-a-doops and vo-deo-dos. The fair lady Julie Andrews could be said to have been dis covered by her role as the heroine "Polly." Music Such musical numbers as "A Room in Bloomsbury," "I Could Be Happy With You," and "The You - Don't - Want-to-Play-With Me Blues" bring the horn of the Gramaphone back into mental view. The Charleston, cloche hats and grease paint put a white frosting on the unlawful, gangster filled society of this Fitzgerald era. Plot The story is of a wealthy girl who falls in love with a messen ger boy. He turns out to be in the last act something epito mized. Carolina Talent Four of the University's stu dents will appear in the play. Julie Petoskey will play the female lead. Others in the cast arc Thorne Satterlee, Evelyn La Bruce and Robert Prickett. The adult admission for the performance is $2; admission for students and servicemen is $1. Summing Up If (lone well, "Boy Friend" should be good light musical en tertainment.

LA UNI apelition in another year's song 11 will be the scene of this year's BOOK CORNER Newspaper Days Scene of Story Samuel Hopkins Adams will be 88 years old when his new novel, "Tenderloin," is published by Random House in January, 1959. The number of Mr. Adams' years is on record-but that's more than Random House can say for the number of his books. Neither can Mr. Adams say; if anyone has a collection of Adamsiana, it's not the gentleman who turned it out. After consulting all the pub lished lists of his works, and those contributed by friends and ad mirers, Random House ventures to say that if the roster isn't complete, it's cei'tainly impres sive: since his first novel was published in the early 1900's, Samuel Hopkins Adams has writ ten more than 50 works of fiction, non-fiction, biography and books for children. Setting The New York of Adams' own pre-1900 newspaper days is the setting for his latest novel, "Tenderloin." The story focuses on a clergyman's crusade to rid New York City of prostitution and political corruption. The real heroes of the book are two news papermen, one a reporter on the "Police Gazette," the other on a journal Mr. Adams chooses to call the "Star." But there are plenty of guys and girls in the social and political whirls of Gotham in the 1890's, as recalled by Mr. Adams in "Tenderloin." The book has already been optioned for a Broadway musical production by producers Robert fE. Griffith and Harold S. Prince. The Author Adams himself was a New York newspaperman in the days about which he writes in "Tender loin." Soon after his graduation from' Hamilton College in 1891, he became a reporter on the "New York Sun." Nine years later he joined the staff of "McClure's" magazine. Becoming interested in medlical science and public health, he wvrote his famous "Col lier's Weekly" series exposing patent medlicine quackery - a series that is credited with fur. thering the passage of the first 3K SHARP MG COLLARS" ELL! SSWELL! rn Nearest You YOU'RE ROUNDED BY ... )RY & CLEANERS Coats An Welcome By Harriet Clare Sinker Special Writer Now that summer has paid her last visit (or has she?) we're not quiteas reluctant to pull out suits and coats. If you are in the market for a new suit or coat, you will find how lucky you are-this season holds what is probably the. widest selection ever in styles and colors. Color Poll Green and blue are good bets to top a popularity poll of hues. In any case, either is a sure bet to draw admiring glances from all sides. Not only will you like the wide variety of shades avail able in both colors, but it will not be difficult to find a variety of accessories to match, complement, or contrast. The newest in blue is an "ultra" bright hue, dubbed by some as electric blue. This - clear bright color does things for the com plexion and is just as enhancing as green which is seen in a variety of grayed tones varying from pale misty green to deep olive. The trick here is to mix sev eral together, but you will prob ably need a little practice for just the right effect. Soft and Fluffy Plaids with a "face lifting" are making quite a hit this season, particularly in suits. They make up for a lack of boldness by being huge. One of the most striking examples is a tunic suit of soft green and beige plaid mohair just as soft and fluffy as you could desire to shield a nipping wind. Chemise Lines Interestingly enough, coats and suits for the most part have not assumed a shape of their own, but tend to duplicate that of dresses. Many suits follow the easy lines of the chemise with the jacket falling just to the hipbone, some times seen with a broad, soft belt looping high above the natural waistline.

This phenomenon is achieved with a slightly flared sk-Irt topped with a flared jacket which falls to meet the hipline flare of the skirt. Fur Trims Coats have adapted well to both the chemise and trapeze lines, and feature belts, belts and more belts ranging all the way from bustline to just above the knees. Another recall this fall is fur many suits and coats are topped with voluminous collars of beaver, badger or fox or, more conserva tively, boast a touch of mink or other less fluffy fur on the collar. And remember, if summer does pay another impromptu visit, there are still many chilly days ahead!
